Which Heaven?
I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a one was caught up to the third heaven. 2 Corinthians 12:2
When you hear someone mention heaven, you could ask, “Which heaven do you mean?” The question is reasonable because the Bible mentions three different heavens.

Deuteronomy 10:12-14
In order of proximity to earth, the three heavens are, first, the skies immediately above us—the domain of birds and clouds (Genesis 1:20). The second highest heaven is the vast universe beyond our atmosphere—the domain of the planets and solar systems (Genesis 1:14-17; Psalm 8:3-4; 19:1-6). The third heaven—the only one assigned a number—is not an atmospheric realm but is the domain of God. The first two heavens are visible to us on earth; the third heaven is not. This is the heaven visited by the apostle Paul, either in person or in a vision, where he heard “inexpressible words” that apparently informed the mission to which God had called him (2 Corinthians 12:4).
Eternity in the presence of God is the destination of all who have placed their faith in Christ. Are you sure that heaven is your ultimate destination?
I want to know one thing, the way to heaven.
